A MALE stripper was arrested after allegedly attacking women after they booed his lacklustre performance.

More than 150 excited fans paid £10-a-head for the “Ladies Night”, only to find novice Leon Zbudowskyj, 29, appearing instead of heart-throb Fabio who cancelled at short notice.

The act began with him dressed as a fireman but he failed to deliver the smouldering performance desired by the audience who were chanting for a Full Monty-style show. Witnesses said it turned ugly when he spat frothy cream at the crowd before sitting on a chair in the middle of the stage.

The baying women lost patience and started heckling, then pelting him with screwed-up serviettes.

He then allegedly dived into the crowd sparking a huge brawl.

Fans turned up to “Ladies Night” to find the regular heart-throb Fabio had cancelled his performance

There was no music, no dance routine. He didn’t even have a six pack.

Five police cars were sent to break up the scuffles at the Baltic Inn at Pontyates, near Llanelli, South Wales.

Compere Debra Jones said: “There was no music, no dance routine. He didn’t even have a six pack. He just wasn’t the sort of person you want to see take their kit off.”

Zbudowskyj, of Cathays, Cardiff, who was due to get £150 as understudy, was unavailable for comment. But a police spokesman said: “A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and bailed pending further inquiries.”

The controversy was shrugged off by venue owner Viv Davies, 58. “It didn’t spoil much,” he said. “It was a good night, everybody enjoyed themselves and we’ve even set a date for the next one – but I think we may steer away from firemen next time.”
